Manchester United has been linked with a bid to bring Memphis Depay back to Old Trafford, according to sources in Spain.
According to Sport, Depay may leave Barcelona this summer, and Juventus is very interested in signing him.
However, the Italian giants have backed out of the agreement because the Dutch international has sought a wage that is net three million euros higher than what he now earns at the Nou Camp.
According to Football Transfers, the 28-year-old attacker earns roughly 15 million euros per season or £245,000 per week.
According to the Catalan news outlet, the former Lyon man has got a call from the 20-time English champions, who intend to make a move.
It is stated that Depay is waiting for Man United to finalize their offer to secure his signing.
The versatile forward does have much more lucrative offers from other Premier League sides but he does not want to move to a second-tier club and waits for the Red Devils.
The 80-cap international made a great impression in lower-level competitions like the Eredivisie and Ligue 1. However, he was a disappointment at Old Trafford in the Premier League and was ordinary for Barcelona in his final year in Spain.
Memphis Depay rose to prominence in the Netherlands under Louis van Gaal, but even the renowned manager was unable to bring out the best in the playmaker at Old Trafford.
